L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius, Divinarum institutionum liber VII, De vita beata

Lactantius (c. 250-c. 325): the seventh book of the Divine Institutes (c. 303-311), on the immortal soul, the last times, the thousand-year reign and the judgement, closing with an exhortation to the faithful, in Latin, with the editors' notes (Migne, PL 6). Our scan lacks the leaves with columns 751-760, where the text breaks off in chapter V and resumes at the end of chapter VII. The text was first read and checked by volunteers through the Reading Room's volunteer page.
